Chairik Chair with New Polished-aluminium Armrests

Chairs with armrests are more sought-after than ever.

To meet this demand, Erik Magnussen has designed new armrests for Engelbrecht's Chairik chair.

With several hundred thousand sold worldwide, Chairik by Engelbrechts is one of the most popular Danish chairs.

And in recent years, models with armrests have become increasingly popular in homes and workplaces.

This has led Engelbrechts to introduce a model with new designer armrests in polished aluminium.

The designer Erik Magnussen has spent a lot of time perfecting this design.

He was inspired by the soft lines of Chairik's veneer: these are extended by the armrests, but without sacrificing the firm support that users expect from a chair with armrests.

Even with the new armrests, the chairs can still be stacked, so users can quickly move them out of the way if needed.

Indeed, daily use was carefully considered when designing Chairik.

For example, the veneer has been given a layer of silky, matt melamine, which creates a strong surface and makes the chair extremely resistant.
